Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a 30-day state of emergency on Tuesday to fight a surge in COVID-19 cases, mobilizing 1,000 members of the Maryland National Guard to help state and local health officials.
Hogan made the announcement as Maryland hit 3,057 hospitalizations for COVID-19 — a record high in the state and an increase of more than 500% in the last seven weeks. The governor said projections show that hospitalizations for virus cases could reach more than 5,000.
“The truth is that the next four to six weeks will be the most challenging of the entire pandemic,” Hogan said at a news conference. “All of the emergency actions we are taking today are to keep our hospitals from overflowing, to keep our kids in school, and to keep Maryland open for business, and we will continue to take whatever actions are necessary in the very difficult days and weeks ahead.”

MD ‘Freak State’ PING!
Four to six weeks to bend the curve.
No general mask or vaccine mandate—for now—according to the Baltimore Sun.
With a couple of slight alterations, they’re simply going back to the beginning of the pandemic and starting over.
Wow, are they ever desperate to keep this going past the mid-terms!
For covid or with covid?
No, I don't trust them, not at all.
.
Vax is sure working great, ain’t it?
Yep, our GOP cheerleaders have already declared victory. They best wise up.
Great vaccine.
I never got “light” MMR after my vaccine
Never got smallpox.
Never got TB.
Never got pertussis.
…
How I despise the fat prick Hogan. I saw a video today of Youngkin with Hogan, both wearing masks. As a Virginian who worked hard to get Youngkin elected, I felt sick to my stomach.
I don’t trust these numbers either as reflecting actual cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by the Rona.
Maryland as of 4 January 2022

( 11,896 official Covid Deaths in Maryland / 6,177,224 state population ( x 100 = 0.193 % in two years of pandemic panic.
Not quite two tenths of one percent over 24 months.
In this case it’s Hogan’s Zeroes.
Gotta rollout that new “Pppffffffffff.....izer” pill.
More like 4 to 6 minutes to bend the chair.
Thanks Lockdown Lard@$$ Larry!
Indeed it is, just like the perpetual increase-in-minimum-wage "boosters" that perpetuate and reward dependency and paralysis.
Hogan should re-name himself Klink.
And SCOTUS will hear the case on vaccine mandates on Jan 7. Coincidence? We are being treated to political theater to influence the courts. A manufactured crisis.
I call him HogMan.
